No, not necessarily anti-psychiatry, just...
...OK. I posted on social about this. Low on the totem pole my whole life. I'm not the only one.
Do you think a lot of mental problems are really just responses not just to stress, but to social status issues and economic issues, and...society, basically? Clearly, not an original idea, but...
...the cool kids in HS go on to have good lives because their parents were affluent. The dorks end up on Depakote and Seroquel. See what I'm saying here?
Not that there aren't real brain issues. The brain responds to life, so...do you think maybe the meds are just palliatives for those whom life hasn't been so kind. In the US at least, that's an increasing number of people (income inequality and such, you know).
Just a thought.
